Thanks man. So actually, I got this car from Georgia, and it was about two months ago and there’s no rust. The car has barely 15K miles on it but I’ll keep the advice in mind. I was fearing to mess with the engine mounts but we’ll see how it goes. The Front Pipe is brand new from HKS so it’s shouldn’t be much of a problem. Thanks for the advice, much appreciated.
You should be fine then, lifting the engine is very easy. I know people fear it. But you only need a little bit to get it out. I got it out with lifting the engine but it was a PITA and I broke a stud, which sucked because I was putting it back. Some people think that the stock one can help with low end torque. Don’t hold your breath for any real world results. I figured why spend $200 for a small benefit if any.
